New vid 🍔 This Restaurant for Gamers Wasted $44,000,000 After co-founding Atari & starting Chuck E Cheese, Nolan Bushnell made uWink. The idea relied on casual touchscreen games and was an expensive failure. I love uWink now & had to tell its story since no one else has 🍔 youtu.be/fxoiaJTc3D0

At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco today, members of the United Video Game Workers union marched through the conference halls, with a mission to “build large-scale education campaigns about labor organizing in the video game industry.”

Shout-out to @windupthing.bsky.social and @sweetoothghost.bsky.social for hosting the incredible Bloodrage Summer Fight Club event. I had so much fun as both Grombles and Lord Land

So since Musk is a dumbass that doesn't understand how databases work, I'd highly recommend everyone make an account at ssa.gov and download a copy of your social security statement. I'd also recommend making an account on IRS.gov and download a copy of all your tax statements for the same reason.

It occurs to me, after reading posts getting it spectacularly wrong, that there are a lot of misconceptions over how game studios organize and, in particular, who makes the actual decisions about what ends up in your game. Much of it is by folks who don't *try* to get it... but not all, surely. 1/🧵

I Recently hosted a game dev gingerbread contest here in Chicago at Night City Games. I was blown away by the talent of the participants as well as by just how many people were willing to indulge in my silliness. Still waiting on photos from the event, but here are the entries youtu.be/Yp6M8-0JvG4

This may only be funny to me, but I'm setting up a bunch of standard programming libraries and a lot of them brag about what projects use them. One of them names a bunch of boring software and then Death Stranding and then no other specific games
